I have . a wedding photo
And a drawing Bridget drew of her and me when she was about 8 (she's 22 now)
And one of Clare's soccer newspaper articles
So i guess it's family
#bfc530
I had my desk taken out so I now have my desktop resting on a filing cabinet. Yet I still have a space where things collect, and a window sill of my children, my siblings in their army/police uniforms, and one of my cross-country team with my late former coach and BFF #bfc530
I have a box of chalk from my teaching days. It has been on my desk for 18 yrs. It reminds me of who is on the front lines. #bfc530https://t.co/c5WSQozP0a
On my teacher's desk (I cleaned the typical mess) my baseball card blotter (I need to fix it a bit) and Christmas gifts from my daughters (my wife said the 9 yr old saw the plaque & asked if she could buy it for Daddy. #bfc530
#bfc530 Missed chatting with all of you yesterday as a co-worker gave me a ride in, and I had to be ready earlier than usual. Wishing everyone a happy Tuesday. More snow tomorrow in CT.
V, even without the snow I dont know if I could get outside with the team, even IF the snow melted, the field would be a mess. Only plus, my daughters are looking forward to sledding one more time #bfc530
Think it'll have to be a small toy camel. Bought it from a young brother and sister when I was in Morocco and spent the night in the desert. Just makes me smile ๐ซ #bfc530
I have three. Inspiring knick knacks from beloved colleagues, the part that converts my desk into a standing desk and I think @WenzelChapman would agree, my second monitor! #bfc530
I have a DARE piggy bank signed by Retro Bill from when he visited my school. It is also my tip jar. It has been promoted for 6 years and it still isn't full. #bfc530
Morning #bfc530
I have a few (both my Theses are on my desk) but one of my favorite teacher possessions is the yearbook that the class of 2005 dedicated to me. I have a photo of some of those kids as well. Who are adults now...
A magnet that says โTeachers are angels who earn their wingsโ itโs in my fridge! ๐๐ป๐ no desk, but I do have a nifty rolling bag! #bfc530 ๐
My prized possessions near my desk are the photo magnets I've made w/ my best nature, etc. photos + photos of past students & colleagues + other mementos of students, all posted on the board above my desk.
#BFC530
My Nancy Pearl librarian action figures (original and one with cape) - they were given to me by folks I love & make me smile on tough days #bfc530https://t.co/oOD8vRoKAt
I have a paper tie my son made me in kindergarten and a popsicle-stick-based magnet of my oldest's first day of school. Both are priceless. Perhaps I will take a picture later today.....
#bfc530
I came prepared this morning! Here is my "role model" desk plate (always a good reminder for me and kids) and my homage to handsome Henry Cavill, who is the theme for my room. *sigh* #bfc530
I also have some small rocks. I collect them with words but students have brought me in โcool onesโ. I have a beautiful turquoise one from a student who moved. #bfc530
I feel like we were in an argument with Mother Nature. And we won. And then she stormed back in the room screaming, โAnd another thing!....โ #bfc530
I donโt have a pic (bummer!), but I started collecting different fun pens from the book fairs that I have held. Kids canโt seem to resist them and teachers canโt figure out how to use them! #bfc530
It's not so much an item on my desk (I kind of hate my desk -- my hip is killing me and I need to buy a better chair!) -- It's what's around it. Framed artwork of the Book of Kells, a collection of printed author selfies, TY notes from students. #bfc530
A friend of my asked me what is a nice gift to give her son's basketball coach, & I said a picture of the team with all of them signing. I have several of those pics or signed baseballs around my classroom. Great memories! #bfc530
We are supposed to have some wintery mix tonight/tomorrow AM, probably enough for a delay, but not a cancellation. It seems to b headed back at u all #bfc530

Good morning! First time to this chatโขโขโขHS principal from south GA
A1: my coffee cup-which gets refilled each morning by students who run our life-skills coffee shop #bfc530
I dont think so, but it is neat when they walk to the back of the room and look down and ask questions about the cards. The best is when a careful eye sees "Herb Washington, Pinch Runner" & I can talk about Charlie Finley & his plans to change the game #bfc530
Another Rock person !!! My mom always teases me how as a kid whenever she did my laundry my pockets were full of rocks I collected! I still have them everywhere #bfc530
Preparing for our 4th storm since beginning of month. Earlier this weekend, it was a miss.
Today: 8" of snow predicted, beginning Wednesday p.m.
Huh?? #bfc530
Morning! Happy primary voting day for those in the US! Make your voices heard today! And put out some positive thoughts for the referendum in my Kidsโ district because art and music and support are worth it! #bfc530
Yes. My undergrad one is on #LGBTQ rights I wrote it years before I became a teacher. Now my PRIDE club kids have asked to read it:)
#bfc530
It's pretty cool.
I actually have 3 prized possessions on my desk. Gumby and Pokey have been favourites of mine since I was very young and the TY Canada bear is something I received as a gift (when it was quite value and hard to obtain) near the start of my career. #bfc530
So late! Rough week - and itโs only Tuesday! We change schedule each quarter and the first week always throws me for a loop ๐๐. I have no desk, just a kid Work station - but the window sills are all mine ๐คฃ Mostly filled with Dr Who stuff and photos #bfc530
I have a picture of my dad who passed at age 67...reminds me of the love he had for me & my siblings & the many jobs he worked at so I could be where I am today doing a job I โค๏ธ #bfc530

For baseball & Sandlot fans who are dealing w/snow. Here is some hope for summer as members of the @Brewers recreate a famous scene of one of the greatest movies ever #bfc530https://t.co/Z5ambHud4f#bfc530
My most prized possessions are thoughtful things from students. Whether itโs a card or a drawing or something they brought back from traveling, I am grateful for those small things that remind me of them. #bfc530
Good morning #bfc530 โfeeling frustrated as I organize PDFs of @librarycongress docs for todayโs lesson. Itโs like reverse SAMR when itโs not my turn with the Chromebook cart
A lot of people feel so beaten down by life and they just want someone to talk to. They just want someone to listen to them. They want someone to just let them get it out. Friend, you don't have to have all the answers. You just have be willing to listen. That's love.
A: I have a set of miniature terracotta warrior statues. Not only do I love teaching ancient China, but it was also a gift from a student who visited China during the summer AFTER I taught her. Does anyone elseโs desk look like a TGIFridays with all the stuff on it? #BFC530
Itโs in my surveillance timeline at Sharyl https://t.co/H9YOWAxQAm but many people forget not only was mcauliffe friend (Hillary) facing fbi probe when mcauliffe gave $ to fbi McCabeโs wifeโbut mcauliffe was also himself facing fbi probe when he donated. #twofer
Tks for reply. Find a different farmer or different job not requiring a plow, perhaps.
WORK: Having was to do something when you would rather be doing something else.

#bfc530
I love penguins and my secret Santa got this one for me. My Ss also love it and make it dance as they leave my nook. No drsk, no room for one. I had to move the penguin closer to the door for my kids! #bfc530#BeTheOne#whyiteach#ParrElem
Agree (would rather be w/family if I have to work, teaching is still what I want to do, it doesnt make me a bad teacher but a normal person). Tech is a valuable tool to increase productivity, my issue is more w/redundancies when we arbitrarily hold on to older methods. #bfc530
I donโt keep photos I realized of my family at work! I do have this rug though. Love my weird furniture. Makes me want to be in my room and be comfy. #bfc530
Oh, no! I slept through my own #BFC530 question. I love keeping things on my desk that inspire curiosity; sometimes Ss even open up while handling things. One of my favorites-an inexpensive Galileo thermometer. Inspired so many ??

Dear PLN, I'm presenting on the power of Twitter as a professional development tool on Tuesday, March 27, to teachers in our diocese. Please take a moment and send a welcome tweet, quote, or resource to #stmattchat. Thanks for all you do:) #bfc530#whatisschool@ShiftParadigm
My desk is generally a pile of papers but one thing I have refused to move is this valentine I received from two students this year. It kind of floats around under my keyboard and piles of papers but every time I rediscover it, I smile. ๐ #bfc530
I donโt have a desk anymore, but in my sliver of space I have a pic of me and my best girlfriends from uni, some pics with author/illustrators, and a quote or two. #bfc530
